    ON THE ERRANDS OF ANGELS SENT: THE EVANGELISTIC PIETY OF GEORGE WHITEFIELD __________________ A Paper Presented to Dr. Michael Haykin The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary __________________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for 88910 __________________ by Matthew D. Haste 1010 Morehead Road, Bowling Green, KY 42101 May 23, 2011 ON THE ERRANDS OF ANGELS SENT: THE EVANGELISTIC PIETY OF GEORGE WHITEFIELD In his 19th-century poetic tribute entitled ―The Preacher,‖ John Greenleaf Whittier called George Whitefield ―a homeless pilgrim with dubious name / blown about by the winds of fame.‖1 This fame on both sides of the Atlantic provided Whitefield with a unique platform for preaching the Gospel in his day. He seemingly seized every opportunity, preaching over 18,000 sermons over the course of his life while traveling frequently between England, America, and Scotland. Whittier‘s poem, while recognizing that Whitefield was not without his faults, summarizes his ministry well with these words: ―Up and down the world he went / A John the Baptist crying, Repent!‖2 Beneath Whitefield‘s fiery passion and inexhaustible energy for the Great Commission was an evangelistic piety built upon Calvinistic theology and evangelical convictions about the nature of God and man. This paper will examine Whitefield‘s piety as it relates to his zeal for evangelism through the lens of his life and theology. The goal is to provide an evaluative summary of the spirituality of a man who lived, in Whittier‘s words, as if he were ―on the errands of angels sent.‖3 The Life of George Whitefield On December 16, 1714, the owners of the finest hotel in Gloucester welcomed their seventh child into the world.

  • Of the Church
    · .. __._--_._-------------------------------..,..- THE MET~IODIST DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH by Durward Hofler There is no Wesleyan doctrine of the church as such, for John Wesley unlike John Calvin did not undertake a systematic com­ pilation of his theology or his ecclesiology. The student must search for Wesley's understanding of the church in his doctrinal views. Accordingly, this study will be limited to what can be found about the doctrine of the church in Wesley's writings and in the history of American Methodism down to 1820. Inherent in Wesley's doctrine of the witness of the spirit is his view of the church. He made some affirmations concerning the witness of the spirit which throw light on his understanding of the church. Listed in the order of their importance to Wesley the affirmations are as follows. First, Wesley insisted that he had a divine call or mission to save souls. He wrote to James Hervey on March 20,1739: On scriptural principles I do not think it hard to justify whatever I do. God in scripture commands me, according to my power, to instruct the ignorant, reform the wicked, confirm the virtuous. Man forbids me to do this in another's parish: that is, in effect, to do it at all; seeing I have now no parish of my own, nor probably ever shall. Whom, then, shall I hear, God or man? A dispensation of the gospel is committed to me; and woe is me if I preach not the gospel. ...I look upon all the world as my parish.1 Obviously in citing scripture to justify action contrary to the will of his church, Wesley was indirectly saying that the salvation of souls takes precedence over church authority and practice.

  • Specific Name /Term / Historical Development – Think Proper Nouns)
    Answer the following questions. Make sure to have examples to prove each point (specific name /term / historical development – think proper nouns). MERCANTILISM 1) Describe the economic role of the English North American colonies in Atlantic trade. 2) How did England try to regulate the English North American colonies? 3) What was salutary neglect? The English Atlantic trade system shaped the North American colonies. New England farmers supplied the sugar islands with bread, lumber, fish, and meat. New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania farmers shipped wheat, corn, and bread to the Caribbean. The southern colonies bought slaves and sold tobacco and sugar to England. Merchants in booming cities like Newport, Charleston, Boston, New York and Philadelphia were based on the shipping industry’s varied jobs. To support the shipping industry, artisans, skilled workers, and lawyers developed in the towns. Believing they had to control trade with the colonies to reap their economic benefits, English ministers wanted agricultural goods and raw materials to be carried to English ports in English vessels. In reality, Dutch and French shippers were often buying sugar and other colonial products and taking them to market around the world. To counter this practice, the Navigation Act of 1651 required all goods to be carried on English ships. Navigation Acts in 1660 and 1663 strengthened the ban on foreign traders as colonists could export sugar and tobacco only through England and three quarters of the crew had to be English. In 1673, the Revenue Act imposed a tax on American exports of sugar and tobacco. The English government backed these policies with force and expanded their merchant fleet on both sides of the Atlantic.

The primary research question is defined as: “To what extent do the dialogues under analysis relate to Arminian soteriology?” By seeking an answer to this question, new knowledge is sought on the current soteriological position of the Methodist-Lutheran dialogues, the contemporary Methodist theology and the commonalities between the Lutheran and Arminian understanding of soteriology. This way the soteriological picture of the Methodist-Lutheran discussions is clarified. The dialogues under analysis were selected on the basis of versatility. Firstly, the sole world organisation level dialogue was chosen: The Church – Community of Grace. Additionally, the document World Methodist Council and the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification is analysed as a supporting document. Secondly, a document concerning the discussions between two main-line churches in the United States of America was selected: Confessing Our Faith Together.

    A REPORT ON CHURCH, STATE AND ESTABLISHMENT Received by the Methodist Conference of 2004 SUMMARY OF CONTENTS Introduction (paragraphs 1-10) - an explanation of the background to the report. Beginning with stories (11-22) - examples and stories that are told, from the past and the present, which have a bearing on the subject being discussed. Using stories and experiences (23-29) - initial reflection on how such examples and stories help to shape what we believe about ‘establishment’. Establishment (30-52) - detailed discussion of what the establishment of the Church of England entails at present, concluding with a brief comparison with other situations in the United Kingdom and beyond. Biblical material (53-70) - exploration of biblical material, particularly in the Old Testament, which underpinned discussions of the establishment of the Church of England as it was shaped in earlier centuries. Other biblical texts are also explored, more briefly. Theological material (71-82) - as with the biblical section, an exploration of theological discussions which underpinned early discussions of the establishment of the Church of England, with reflection on how the theological discussions shifted in subsequent centuries. Methodist historical background (83-88) - brief exploration of how the debates on establishment affected, or were discussed in, Methodism, largely before the 20th century. Reflections (89-109) - the drawing out of important strands and implications from the previous material in the report, focusing on such areas as mission and unity and the variety of possible models of Church/state relationships.

  • Proceedings Wesley Historical Society
    Proceedings OF THE Wesley Historical Society Editor: E. ALAN ROSE, B.A. Volume XLIII December 1982 THE MANTLE OF ELIJAH Nineteenth-century Primitive Methodism and Twentieth-century Pentecostalism [This article is based on a lecture delivered to the Lincolnshire Methodist History Society at Sleaford on IOth October 1980. Many of the references are to places and events in Lincolnshire, but the author has little reason to believe that Primitive Methodism in Lincolnshire was so unique as to render these references useless to readers in other parts of Britain.] y concern in this article (hence its title) is to pose the ques­ tion: Has the spirit of nineteenth-century Primitive Method­ Mism come to rest on twentieth-century Pentecostalism? Not that one would want to be suspected of suggesting that Primitive Methodism has been taken up by a whirlwind into heaven! But it does seem that something of the spirit of the one has been taken up by the other. I must go on to say that I am in no sense suggesting a theological comparison. In some ways the two movements seem quite close in their theological bases, but that is not the point of the comparison I wish to make. Clearly their particular beliefs about the Holy Spirit lead Pentecostalists to assess the Spirit's gifts differ­ ently, giving them a dominant concern to seek and give evidence of the more spectacular gifts, notably that of speaking in tongues. This emphasis is quite different from that of Primitive Methodism­ although I should be very interested to know whether Pentecostal­ type manifestations accompanied early Primitive Methodism.

  • ECCLESIASTICAL* on December 24, 1784
    r I I ') ,tII Methodist History, 23:1 (October 1984) I I 11,J BALTIM0 RE 1784-HISTORICAL-THEOLOGICAL­ ! ECCLESIASTICAL* K. JAMES STEIN On December 24, 1784 some sixty Methodist preachers gathered on invitation at their Lovely Lane Chapel in Baltimore, Maryland for what j would prove to be a critically important gathering for their small but 1 rapidly growing movement in America. By the time the conference ended ;1 .1 on January 2, 1785 it had created an independent church with its own fully , I ordained ministry, sacramental life, formalized liturgy, doctrinal norms, q h 'I~ ,I ethical standards, and a sharply-defined sense of mission for the future. I :! ,I In many ways this was not an auspicious gathering. Its setting was not ! j elaborate. The little stone chapel, which no longer remains, was extremely , i plain, except for its arched windows. Especially for the comfort of the ;i .. i." preachers, the congregation had placed a large wood stove in the building and added backs to the benches in anticipation of the long conference session. 1 Moreover, most of the participants at the conference were dis­ tinguished in neither learning nor experience. Only a few had received a classical education and could read the Scriptures in the original languages, although a number of them were self-taught. Beyond that, most of them were not old enough to be well-experienced in ministry. Thomas Coke wrote at the time: "I admire the body of American preachers.... They are 'j" ~' I indeed a body of devoted, disinterested men, but most of them young."2 , .t-' I,,,; " ·1 One analysis of the preachers present suggested that only seven of these ::';1 men had itinerated as much as eight years.
